Stay The Way You AreBOYFRIEND
This is the title track from BOYFRIEND’s Japanese album “Bouquet,” released in February 2019.
While it’s upbeat and sweet, it also carries a warm sense of friendship and nostalgia.
Showcasing the members’ harmonies and polished dance performance, the song has earned strong support from fans.
The lyrics focus on challenge, self-affirmation, and the courage to move forward, delivering a heartfelt message about staying true to yourself at all times.
It’s also great for karaoke, with a catchy melody and approachable, refreshing rhythm.
The rap parts lift the mood, making it perfect for getting hyped with friends.
SUNRISEGFRIEND
A romantic song with a touch of poignancy.
The melody is beautiful and gradually builds.
Even those not used to singing Korean songs will find it easy to catch the notes and rhythm.
At first, the feeling of being in love is modest, but it gradually swells until it feels like it might burst at the end.
If you pour your emotions into it with this image in mind, you’ll be able to step into the world of the song.
GalaxyBolbbalgan4
In Japan, it’s also been released under the title “I’ll Give You the Universe.” It’s a heartwarming, medium-tempo track in true Bolbbalgan4 fashion.
The lyrics express a desire to be together, overflowing with a lovely vibe—great for couples to enjoy or to duet with a friend.
It’s very catchy and relaxed, so it’s easy to sing even in the original Korean.
Highly recommended for those who aren’t confident singers! The pleasant melody turns the moment you start singing into something special.
LOVE TRAINGOT7
Upbeat rock-pop.
It combines super self-assured rap, high-energy vocals, and a stylish chorus.
Think of it as a “love-struck rapid train”: not as fast as an express, but not as leisurely as a local.
As the longing grows, the speed picks up.
Imagine you’re that train and sing with a groovy, pumped-up vibe.
SomedayIU
IU is a singer-songwriter who could be called the original “Nation’s Little Sister.” Her down-to-earth lyrics and straightforward, unpretentious sound are beloved by people of all ages, making her truly a national diva of Korea.
In Japan, the closest image might be Aimyon—what do you think? The song “Someday” is mid-tempo and sung as if savoring each word, so I think it’s a good practice piece for those not yet used to singing in Korean.
The positive lyrics—“May the me who stumbled stand up again”—are also great! IU is also active in charity work, and in 2019 she was selected by Forbes as one of the “30 Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy.”
HUGTVXQ (also known as Tohoshinki; literally “Rising Gods of the East”)
A living legend who commands immense popularity, especially across Asia—TVXQ—released this debut track in 2004.
It’s an adorable song about not being able to contain your love for your partner.
That fresh, innocent vibe still makes your heart flutter even now.
With a light yet warm sound, it’s a classic medium-tempo ballad that also feels akin to Japanese pop.
The five-member harmony is just the best.
It’s a ballad, but not overly mellow, so it’s fun to sing together and a great pick for creating a good atmosphere!
plot twistTWS
TWS’s debut track is shaking up the Korean music scene.
It’s a song from their album Sparkling Blue, released in January 2024.
The pop sound, infused with synths, captures the nervous excitement and flutter of a first encounter.
The bridge highlights the beauty of meeting someone new, showcasing a youthful sensibility.

It’s the perfect song for singing with friends or for when you’re thrilled about new beginnings.
